A food processing apparatus includes a vessel having an internal space for
containing food material therein. A body is seated on a top portion of
the vessel, and has a seating part formed in a periphery with a plurality
of coupling holes. A body cover is coupled with the top surface of the
seating part, and can be opened and closed. A silicone packing is
disposed between the body cover and the body, and has protrusions
extending from a bottom surface thereof in positions corresponding to the
coupling holes of the seating part. Each of the protrusions has a recess
formed therein, thereby to be easily deformed when inserted into each of
the coupling holes. The silicone packing disposed between the body and
the body cover can stably maintain coupling while preventing steam from
entering through a gap in a joint between the body and the body cover.
